Chapter 304: That Final Question Redirected Everyone's Focus

That final question redirected everyone's focus. (Exactly! Buying Titan Systems phones doesn't grant them permission to spam system notifications! Those messages couldn't be dismissed or ignored either. They were literally forcing us to read them!)

[Didn't Valerie call Sienna and Aurora shameless, claiming to defend her best friend Giselle? Abusing power is still unacceptable, right?]

[Honestly, I doubt Valerie was just defending a friend. It feels more like a targeted attack on Sienna and Crownlight Entertainment.]

[Absolutely! The moment everyone praised Boss Bennett, the forums got flooded with hate comments against her. If that wasn't orchestrated, I'll stream myself eating shit.]

[They're both top-tier entrepreneurs. Maybe Valerie can't handle another woman matching her status?]

[You know what they say—two tigers can't share one mountain. I'm convinced Valerie and Sienna have serious history!]

[Hah! Valerie probably thought Sienna was some clueless trust fund baby. Never expected a real boss, did she?]

Netizens typed furiously, thoroughly entertained by the clash. Hundreds of thousands of comments piled up within a single day. A sly smirk touched Sienna's lips. They could hire trolls, but so could she! Did Valerie want a war? She should've anticipated this! The drama escalated further. When the stock market opened the next morning, Titan Systems's shares nosedived, losing billions in value. Influencers erupted over Valerie's actions, hosting live streams condemning Titan Systems. Public opinion turned sharply against her. Her pristine, flawless 'princess' image shattered completely. Another company hit hard was Summit Media.

Grant—as Summit Media's CEO—committed an unforgivable act, yet Celeste still attacked Crownlight Entertainment. Once the truth surfaced, the company faced relentless backlash. Artists who previously tried to terminate contracts with Summit Media were outraged. They genuinely admired Sienna and wanted to join Crownlight Entertainment instead. They gathered outside the Entertainment Guild, demanding the chairman's arbitration. Celeste had contacted the Guild chairman beforehand, relying on their good relationship. But the chairman not only ignored her pleas, the Guild actually assisted the artists in successfully terminating their contracts.

Summit Media became a deserted shell of its former self, stripped of all glory, and was eventually forced to shut down. Celeste completely lost her composure. She trashed the company office in a fit of rage. This drew threats from various parties, forcing her to flee the country. Sienna learned all this during breakfast with Noah and Lucas.

She was eating while reading a text from Owen:

(Summit Media is closed. All their artists have signed with Crownlight Entertainment.) Sienna frowned. Summit Media collapsed this fast? In just one day? Suspicious, she turned her gaze toward Lucas. “Mr. Harrington, was this your doing again?”

“A minor intervention,” Lucas replied casually, placing a piece of salmon on her plate.

Her heart skipped a beat. This man always knew how to get to her. His constant help was starting to make her feel... inadequate. Her eyes flickered. “Is Valerie coming today?”

“Yes! I heard she even got some special snake-repellent medicine. She’s trying to get close to Daddy!” Noah pouted, his frustration clear.

Why did that Auntie want to ruin his Daddy and Mommy? Bad Auntie! Sienna simply ruffled his hair. “Don’t worry. I have a way to make her back off from your Daddy.”

“Really?” Noah chirped, his eyes sparkling like stars.

A perfect smirk curled her lips. “Really. Leave her to me when she arrives.”
